One foot in your bedroom
& one foot out the door

by joey on JULY, 29 2025

I’ve been so busy in July, I intended to make this a recap of my week but, then the weeks just kept coming, so I guess I’ll just tell you about my month!
We had a long weekend at the start of the month cause of the 4th, and the Big Boss said we could all take a half day, so I got to have an even longer weekend, fully paid!! I’m starting to get spoiled by this salaried life… To top it off, my manager, boss, not sure what to call her, but that week we agreed to just work from home since there was a huge event happening in town that week and we didn’t want to deal with the traffic! I was able to go over to my friend’s place with my partner and we had such an awesome time! I need to think of a good alias for them since I’ll probably be writing about those two a lot LOL

Here’s what I wore to their party, I feel like my outfits have been getting a lot more solid lately! ---------->

After that week, it was back to work! I guess I’m in charge of my office’s safety planning, so it was a lot of zoom meetings, waiting for guys to check on our cameras, boring stuff like that. I started reading Fight Club this week, I think? Plus I got REALLY in to Super Tramp, like REALLY REALLY into them. Having a paid lunch is crazy,one of the best part of my lunches has absolutely been sitting by this river that runs near my office. It’s been so helpful to my mental health and settling in here.
There’s surprisingly a lot of critters down there! On my first trip down I saw a mink, I haven’t been able to take a picture of it yet, she’s quick, but I was able to get a bit of her on video! I’ve also been seeing some kind of ugly fish with legs, I think it might be called a mudskipper, at least, that’s what I’ve been calling it! I’ve also been seeing these HUGE crawfish, I didn’t even know my state HAD crawfish dude! I love these guys! I’ve also seen at least one bunny, and the world's friendliest ducks.

There’s a sign saying not to feed the water fowl, so I haven’t, but, with how close they’re approaching me everyday I feel like someone has GOT to be feeding these dudes.
The other day my partner came up to have lunch with me, and we were sitting at this picnic table by the river bank and this old dude straight up caught a large mouth bass, it was crazy! I’ve been sitting by this river for like 3 weeks and I didn’t know it had fish bigger than my ugly ol’ mud skippers and minnows!!

At the office, it’s been pretty quiet which is nice, I’ve actually been alone here for like 2 weeks and finally started to get a little routine going and started feeling more sure of myself. I had to write and present a senatorial recognition to someone, I was SO nervous but honestly I’m super proud of what I was able to accomplish. That same week I went out to the club with my friends, (actually this was the week I was going to talk about originally LOL) it was 2000s night, so you KNOW I couldn’t miss it!!! I ended up running in to my one friend The Disco King, the friend who invited me out originally was bar hopping and wouldn’t be there until later, which was totally okay because honestly I haven’t spent a lot of 1 on 1 time with The Disco King, and I honestly absolutely adore him and his partner, I’m so grateful that those two have always welcomed my partner and I into their homes!! Anyways, it’s 2000s night at the gay club, there really wasn’t a lot of people dressed on theme, but I was and that’s all that mattered. I had a last minute idea to put a plush of the Taco Bell dog in my Juicy Couture purse, and honestly, I don’t think enough people appreciated it!!! Check it out…

Overall the night was so nice just dancing and talking! This one dude who was super drunk did come up to us and kept asking the king if I was his girlfriend, and the disco king is unfortunately too honest and told him no so he kept bothering me to dance. Like, read the room bro it’s a gay club!!! But he wasn’t like, super bad, and he was trying to get with every single woman there that night, so I wasn't scared or anything but he was traaashed. My partner DD’d and we gave the king a ride home, we didn’t wanna stay out too late because we were going to the lake the next day with our other friends!

We had our lake day, and it straight up felt like a movie fr. We went to one of my fave lakes in the state, my friends are super lucky and they live less than a few minutes away and took us to this little spot to get in and swim. I think I’ll just call them J&A for right now until I can think of something better! They ended up inviting a couple of our moots, and we talked about forming a “reality club”, it’s like a book club for reality TV , we watch something trashy and get together and get messed up and discuss. A ended up saying “hotdogs” one time while we were in the water and for the next hour every single one of us was like “we gotta get go…” So we went back to J&A’s smoked some more, cooked some dawgs and one of the friends brought a watermelon and that thang was, in my partner's words “so juicy and firm”. So I’ve been, like, obsessed with describing things like that LOL J ended up asking me to play some music, yes chat room, you heard me right someone willingly wanted to listen to my music LOL so I did what I do on stream, my 90s eurodance / happy hardcore playlist…. AND IT WAS A HIT !!!! HE LOVED IT, EVERYONE LOVED IT YIPPEE!!! I got to see some deer running through a person’s yard while I was in the back of A’s subaru, the evening sun in my eye and the lake over my shoulder to the left, it was magical. I’m so grateful these people have allowed me to be a part of their lives, I don’t think they realize how much of an impact they have in my life…

Back to work! Slow week, since I was alone I started to kind of take off a little early. I started with 15, then 30 minutes and finally I took off an hour early and … I ended up losing my door key. Instant karma!! Luckily I only needed the key to get in to our mail room, so until I got the replacement key I just took my shoes off and propped them in each door that locked behind me LOL. The Overseer, I think I’ll just call her that for now because I’m still not entirely sure if this lady is my boss or not, invited me to an event she was attending on Friday! She didn’t give me the address, but being that it was local I didn’t want to seem silly and ask, so I looked at the little information she gave me and confirmed with her “It’s called *****, right?”, “yeah that sounds right”. So Friday morning I get to the place, and it’s like a little nature walk thing, I don’t see her and I think maybe she left with a different group. I go inside the building and ask, and before I can speak this little old man behind the counter goes “That is a LOVELY dress!!”, thanks, but it was actually just a maxi shirt I matched with this like, runched black top and white undershirt, so I tell him thanks and he goes “The dress is thanks enough :)”. PERVERT! But honestly that was such a good compliment I didn’t even get like uncomfortable because it’s so silly!!! Anyways long story short, I go on this hike, no sign of The Overseer, so I get back to the office and she’s not there either! She gives me a call, and says we must have just missed each other, before I tell her about the hike and we realize… we were at opposite sides of town at completely different events! The events were held by the same organization, at the exact same time! I was worried I was going to be in trouble but she said “That’s cool, mark that down as outreach!”, imagine that, a mistake that isn’t treated like the end of the world, news to me! Oh, and when we both got back to the office at like, 2pm she was like “Let’s close up shop early”, so like I did NOT need to feel guilty leaving 30 minutes early LOL.

Okay, okay last little bit!! I saw a community garage sale happening this last weekend, and I picked up this entire leopard print set….

For only….
$45!!!! YES!!!

I had to do two trips, my partner's car battery died on the first trip so I had to SHOVE that couch in the back of my Subaru, I can’t believe it actually fit in there LOL Maybe I should make another post about my thrift finds…?

Finally, wrapping it up, my mom and my grandma went to the lake together and honestly it was so nice it made me feel like being little again, but yknow, not severely traumatized! It’s hard to get my grandma to get out of the house, so it was really special to have her come with us, plus it was the same lake that J&A live on so just vibes all around!
Oh I also got to finish Fight Club, so now I’m gonna start reading Mongrels! Plus I got to watch They Live for the first time at work, very cool!
I’m gonna end this entry here! I gotta get better and making shorter blogs LOL there ain’t no WAY anypony is reading this all!!! LOL
ok bye
